...subtlety by David Modigliani '02. Carter is the only character to have profited from the blackmail scandal, but Modigliani is wise enough to show that his success and power are as much mental creations as they are facts of reality, and they are capable of being shattered at a moment's notice. Vinnie, Carter's less fortunate partner in crime, is harder to get a handle on. He is pathetic and clever, powerless and manipulative by turns, and Blake Lawit '97 depicts his mental shifts as occuring as rapidly and uncontrollably as thunderstorms.

...violent outbursts. This mindless violence is followed by another epiphany, in which he realizes...something. What that something is isn't exactly clear, and is open to interpretation. All we know is that Dwayne finds his alienated wife and son and resolves things with them (in a rare moment of clarity in which he realizes his love for them), after which he gets carted off to jail.

"And for the moment, it?s doing just what Kremlin image-makers had hoped ? boosting Putin?s macho image and his popularity in the polls...
...moment there, it looked as if J. H. Hatfield might have become John McCain's new best friend. Hatfield, a former Texan, recently penned an unauthorized biography of George W. Bush that said W. was once arrested for cocaine possession and subsequently cleared by one of daddy's judicial pals. Both Georges vigorously denied the account, but that didn't keep Hatfield's publishers at St. Martin's Press from churning out 90,000 advance copies of "Fortunate Son." Now, in a twist that jibes nicely with George W.'s seamless good luck, Texas law enforcement officials have decided that...
